Milo W

Focus on White Grain and High Energy Value

The «Milo V» sorghum from Peter Bohdan Chykaliuk is a selection solution tailored for those who view the crop not merely as a fodder base, but as a high-value commodity with a high starch content (70-80%). American genetics from S&W Seed Company, combined with the breeding control of Peter Bohdan Chykaliuk, have resulted in a hybrid that consistently secures yields in regions with high aphid pressure.

Agronomic Profile and Field Performance

Unlike tall forage varieties, «Milo V» is a compact plant, standing 100-110 cm tall. This low stature serves as more than just a physical trait; it is a defensive mechanism. The sorghum exhibits high lodging resistance, which is critical for mechanized harvesting. A vegetation period of 100-110 days makes it the "golden mean" for farmers who need to utilize the growing season efficiently.

• White Grain: The absence of tannins in its composition allows this harvest to be used not only in livestock farming but also in the food industry, significantly expanding market opportunities.
• Pest Protection: The aphid-resistance gene saves budgets on insecticide treatments—a strong argument for profitability in changing climate conditions.

Who is this hybrid for?

«Milo V» is ideal for farms focusing on intensive grain production. If your goal is to produce feed with maximum energy output or high-quality export grain, this hybrid will deliver predictable results. It does not require specific conditions, yet it maximizes its potential in fertile soils where other varieties might suffer from waterlogging or pests. The trade-off for this hybrid is the need for strict adherence to sowing dates; delays may extend the vegetative cycle, impacting grain moisture content at harvest time.
